Three days after one of the largest earthquakes ever recorded struck the South American nation of Chile, the massive extent of the damage is becoming clearer, and the number of known victims has climbed to 723 deaths so far, many thousands still missing, and nearly 2 million displaced. World governments made immediate pledges of aid after Chilean President Michelle Bachelet requested mobile bridges, field hospitals, satellite phones, electrical generators, disaster assessment teams, water purification systems, field kitchens and restaurants, UN officials said. Collected here are recent photos from areas in Chile damaged by Saturday's 8.8-magnitude earthquake and ensuing tsunami. (37 photos total)
Neuroscience remains one of the most rapidly-expanding disciplines in Biology and Medicine. It continues to absorb technological advances from other fields of science that are by no means limited to the traditional areas of biology. Neuroscientists today use techniques ranging from molecular genetics of simple multicellular organisms to imaging the living human brain. Investigating the nervous system offers opportunities for interdisciplinary research of a kind that, until recently, could not have been contemplated. Neuroscience has made many discoveries of fundamental importance to our understanding of the basis of normal brain function and its breakdown in neurological and neuropsychiatric disease. Continuing discoveries offer the promise of developing strategies for therapeutic intervention in many disabling human diseases such as schizophrenia and stroke that are associated with enormous social and economic costs.
